Auto Accidents
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, this may be the first time you have had to deal with issues such as getting your medical bills paid. That inexperience can cost you money. Many people who have serious injuries don't receive the full compensation they deserve simply because they did not understand how to deal with the insurance companies.
Rear-End Accidents
Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accidents in Nebraska and other states. They are also a major cause of pain and disability that insurance companies often fail to take seriously.
Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Trucking companies are required to carry large insurance policies to pay the damages of the people they injure in accidents. However, it often takes a skilled investigator to determine how the accident happened and who was at fault.
Motorcycle Accidents
If you have suffered a serious personal injury in a motorcycle accident, you may never go back to the way you were before. The quality of your life going forward can depend on how full a financial recovery you can make from the insurance company of the person who caused your injury.
How Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage Works
Most drivers in Nebraska have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage as a part of their auto insurance. You may be paying for this coverage and not even be aware that you have it.
Wrongful Death
Our attorneys file wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of families who have lost a loved one in a fatal motor vehicle crash, as a result of negligence in a hospital or nursing home, or in other types of accidents.
Medical Malpractice
When a doctor makes a mistake, very bad things can happen. Our lawyers have extensive experience holding medical professionals accountable for the care they provide.
Dog Bites
After a toddler was nearly killed by a pit bull, Omaha passed an ordinance requiring owners of potentially dangerous dogs to keep their animals on leashes whenever they are off the owner's property — or face harsh penalties. Dog owners are also subject to civil actions if their dog bites someone, even if the dog had not been identified as potentially dangerous.
Workers' Compensation
You don't have to prove your employer was negligent before you can recover compensation. You only have to prove that you were injured on the job or suffer from an occupational disease.
